As long as Trump is the standard bearer the Republican Party will continue to lose winnable races. Trump repeatedly endorses extremist candidates in swing seats who lose nine times out of ten. Republicans lost the governor's race and Senate race in Pennsylvania in 2022 because of Trump's endorsements. They lost both Senate seats in Georgia because of Trump. They lost a Senate seat and governor's race in Arizona because of Trump's endorsements and they are about to lose another Senate race in Arizona for the same reason.
Trump routinely endorses toxic candidates because he doesn't care if they win or not. He cares only about who is willing to kiss his ring and that's why he endorsed Mark Robinson. Robinson should have never been a nominee for any office anywhere, but thanks to Trump he's going to hand the Democrats the governorship in North Carolina for at least the next four years and may even drag down Trump with him in the state, costing Trump the presidential election, which would be quite poetic.
"This was predictable. Mark Robinson's tenure in public life has shown erratic, sometimes highly offensive statements over and over again and Donald Trump supported him and endorsed him. In fact, he called him better than Martin Luther King Jr. on steroids," Christie said.
The former governor added: "This is the problem for us Republicans. As long as Donald Trump is your recruiting agent for candidates in swing states, we're going to continue to get our rear ends handed to us and Mark Robinson is not going to win this race, can't win this race...the fact is this is going to be a tough race no matter what."
